Holding the No. 23 spot in the Troester/GymInfo rankings, Boise State earned its high score of the season against Southern Utah on March 1, where they notched a 196.575. The team is averaging a 195.538 with a Regional Qualifying Score of 195.665.

The team is coming off a second-place finish in a quad-meet at San Jose State. With a total score of 195.425, they fell to the Spartan hosts (195.575) while defeating UC Davis (194.500) and Seattle Pacific (191.725).

THE AGGIES' LAST TIME OUT - An all-around win and several career and season-highs weren't quite enough for Utah State gymnastics to pull ahead in a dual-meet in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum Monday night. The Aggies fell to in-state rival BYU with an overall score of 192.875.

Utah State scored a 48.425 on vault, a season-best 48.725 on bars, 47.600 on beam and 48.125 on floor. BYU notched a 49.050 on bars, 48.850 on vault, 49.050 on floor and 48.075 on beam for their total of 195.025.

In all-around action, sophomore Sarah Landes finished with a total score of 39.175, just shy of her season-high, which was enough to give her the all-around title. Junior Paige Jones finished fourth with an overall score of 38.600.

Jones also finished tied for second on vault with her 9.850 as well as tying for first-place on floor with the same score. Landes and Jones were part of a four-way tie for third-place on bars, notching a 9.800. Landes also tied for second-place on beam with a 9.750.

SIZING UP THE WAC - At No. 11 in the national rankings, Denver has a strong hold of first-place in each event in the conference. With a season-high total score of 197.200, the Pioneers have an RQS of 196.340. Boise State is close behind at the No. 2 spot in all events except for beam, where San Jose State holds the spot.

The Aggies are in fifth-place on vault with an RQS of 48.685, but are No. 6 in each other event. The team is more than a full point behind No. 5 Sacramento State in the all-around with an RQS of 193.195.

JOINING THE RANKS - Gymnastics rankings are based on the Regional Qualifying Scores. Qualification for regional competition is based on a team's and an all-around competitor's six best regular-season meet scores, of which three must be away. To obtain the RQS, the high score is eliminated and the remaining five scores are averaged.

In the Troester/GymInfo rankings, Utah State has moved down to No. 55 after spending three weeks at No. 53. Among the North Central Region, the Aggies have been very consistent throughout the season, resting in the middle at No. 8 overall. In the individual events, USU is No. 7 on vault, No. 8 on bars as well as beam, and No. 9 on floor.

Junior Paige Jones and sophomore Sarah Landes are the two Aggies ranked in the top 100 nationally. The duo holds spots among the best in all-around competition as Landes is at No. 34 with an RQS of 39.120 and Jones at No. 73 with an RQS of 38.590. Landes is also back in the top 100 on balance team where she is tied for No. 93 with an RQS of 9.795.

Additionally, Landes and Jones are making a solid showing in both the North Central region and the WAC. Both are in the top 50 among the region in all five areas. Landes is third in the WAC in all-around, No. 6 on vault (9.820) and beam (9.795). Jones is eighth in the league in all-around and No. 10 on vault (9.810).

Many of the Aggie freshmen are among the top 50 regionally in their individual events. Destiny Ezell is at No. 49 on vault (9.540) and No. 50 on floor (9.585) while Michelle Yasukochi is at No. 43 on vault (9.695) and No. 47 on bars (9.655).
